Hello, I’m new to Blender and have read some of the instructions and forums.
However, I have just opened a created .blender file > opened Video Sequence Editor > but I don’t see the Audio icon to listen to the video?
In fact, the usual Video Sequence Editor view does not come up when I open a recent .blender file. I’m a bit lost and would like some help on this please.
Then I can move onto exporting the .blender file to a .mp4 or .avi file.
Thank you 
To listen/play the video you have added to the sequencer press the play icon on the timeline or Alt+A

Please explain in more detail
Thank you, I did try the Play button on the Timeline, but nothing happened. I have fixed this by copying the original video to .avi and not using the .blend file.
